Figure 6.3: Perplexity <strong>on</strong> the development set during training <strong>of</strong> RNN models with 80<br />

neur<strong>on</strong>s.<br />

In further experiments, we have used RNN models with increasing size <strong>of</strong> the hidden<br />

layer, trained <strong>on</strong> the Reduced-Sorted data set. We have used just 7 training epochs, as<br />

with sorted data, the c<strong>on</strong>vergence is achieved quickly (for the first three epochs, we used<br />

c<strong>on</strong>stant learning rate 0.1, and halved it at start <strong>of</strong> each new epoch). These results are<br />

summarized in Table 6.3. We denote RNN model with 80 neur<strong>on</strong>s as RNN-80 etc.<br />

In Figure 6.4, we show that the performance <strong>of</strong> RNN models is str<strong>on</strong>gly correlated<br />

with the size <strong>of</strong> the hidden layer. We needed about 320 neur<strong>on</strong>s for the RNN model to<br />

match the performance <strong>of</strong> the baseline back<strong>of</strong>f model. However, even small models are<br />
